Ovos has been active as a provider of playful learning content for 20 years. With "ovos play", the company has developed an award-winning tool for producing, managing and operating playful learning content and gamification.

In the concluded framework agreement, Wegesrand is licensing this highly innovative tool and thus opening up for a more standardized workflow when it comes to the production of customized solutions and standard content. There are plans to combine more complex media tools from Wegesrand with ovos play. This will create a new sales channel for ovos and the opportunity for Wegesrand to expand its range of products with standardized content productions.

Both partners have already been working together successfully for several years, including in the "TheaDiPolis" research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Germany. The cooperation is now to be expanded and intensified as a result of the framework agreement.

Ovos intends to realize more complex media productions, such as serious games or installations in museum spaces, as part of the cooperation with Wegesrand. In this way, Wegesrand is increasing its presence in Austria and adding another player to the sales cooperations in this segment.

Wegesrand's Head of Education, Paul Lanzendorf, comments:

"We share a similar mindset with ovos. Our products and services are highly complementary and with ovos, we are convinced that we have gained a very exciting partner. Together, we will expand our range of products and sales reach."

ovos Managing director, Jürg Hofstetter, comments:

"Ovos and Wegesrand are united in our thinking and yet complementary in our offerings. With Wegesrand, we are gaining one of the most established providers of playful learning solutions as a sales partner and will benefit in many ways."
